Overview

Opened in 2020, the Sumida River Walk is a 160-meter pedestrian bridge that connects Asakusa (near Tobu Asakusa Station) with Tokyo Skytree Town. Built alongside the Tobu Skytree Line railway bridge, it offers a unique walking experience where visitors can enjoy views of the Sumida River, passing trains, and Tokyo Skytree all at once. This scenic spot has become a favorite for photos and casual strolls, especially at night when the bridge is beautifully illuminated. The walk also connects directly to Tokyo Mizumachi, a stylish shopping and dining complex.
